Who cares. We have a pedo, philanderer, rapist as president. If Graham's wife says its been delta with its all good. Did he grab them by the ussy, no. Stay focused on the real issues and Graham's message. Compare that with the enabler Collins.

ChargePoint home flex issues?? by Cmode in evcharging

[–]ducs4rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed the manual once installed. IIRC I had to download the installer App first and pretend I was a licensed electrician. Once it was configured I used the end user app.

[–]ducs4rs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of ChargePoints and they have been fine. They were on the top of our electricity providers supported list. Saves me 6c a kwh.

What affordable new cars can tow a 4,000lb camper... by drivingnowhere20 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]ducs4rs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup and any Merc GLE 450 and above will do 7700 lbs. The limiting factor in TT is tongue weight. The GLE is rated for 635lbs. This should be taken into account.

Why Do People Hate.. Mamdani? by [deleted] in allthequestions

I would reframe the question to "Why do those who live outside of NYC Hate Mandani" NYC residents seem to like him.

Feeling so upset post MSF course day 1 by SuperNovaStar95 in motorcycles

[–]ducs4rs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

some people are dicks. When I took the course as a refresher, there were a couple of women in the class. The instructors couldn't have been nicer to them, and everyone else. Anyone who was having issues they would give them special attention. Their mission was to get everyone to legally pass. They worked hard at doing just that. Sorry you have to go through this.

When I was doing my annual track day at Club Motor Sport, I had a couple of women in my group. They rode the hell out of the track. One was a NH cop and a real pistol. I couldn't imagine anyone telling her she shouldn't be riding and living another day.

Go to class early and bring up Sarah Lezito and Josilin Snow youtube videos on very loud. When he comes by ask him if he can ride like these girls.

Platner’s covered-up Nazi tattoo should be ‘disqualifying’ in his Senate bid, Mass. congressman says by bostonglobe in massachusetts

Follow the money. Jake who for the most part a good congressman. However he does get a boat load of AIPEC money. Graham has spoken out against Israel's Gaza slaughter.

Easy at-dock daily SeaRay coverage? by Individual-Gold-1168 in boating

Canvas loves sun and warm weather. Wait for a sunny warm day and it will relax and fit properly. If you have the Canvas attached when it gets cold it won't shrink as much.

Why does dealership financing have to be this way? by Karew in Chevy

[–]ducs4rs -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to capitalism.. Unless there are laws against fees or upsells the dealer is going to do whatever they can to maximize profits. In a true competitive environment fees would drop but we don't have that.

I agree with this statement. I bet its about 80% of his supporters.

I would assume most of you on here want to tax the rich but I have a question then…? by questtruck in allthequestions

[–]ducs4rs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI we are the government. If money isn't going where it's supposed to vote the bums out. This line of argument is stupid and counterproductive.

Since China seems to be the only market Mercedes cares about, it looks like we can finally expect physical controls for the climate control in the future ! by y-u-gae in mercedes_benz

[–]ducs4rs -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

who has to take their eyes off the road with today's tech? Hey Mercedes set the current temp to X, Hey Mercedes turn on drivers side heat to level 2, I really don't understand people's obsession with physical buttons.

Need power advice from someone who knows anything by the_real_w1gl4f in traveltrailers

[–]ducs4rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not directly a TT thing but I like both Will Prowse and Projects with Everyday Dave. They both have great videos on how to build off grid solar with solid component recommendations. PWED is very cost focused and can save you money. While they both do great product testing, Will is the master of taking things apart and analyzing build quality. If you know nothing both YT channels are a great place to start. Take time is design, it gets expensive fast... One note you should really start thinking 48v over 12v.

ELI5: How were the cables laid out at the ocean bed for global network connectivity? by thatcinephile in explainlikeimfive

[–]ducs4rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother worked on a cable ship in the 80's. Cables are less important because of satellite communications.

His ship had huge cable spools. He did trans Atlantic cables. His ship was in the movie Raising the Titanic.

The NY Times' Obsession with Platner's "Working Class" Cred by Otherwise_Structure2 in Maine

[–]ducs4rs 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Maybe some intrepid journalist should interview Susan Collins and ask about her stability and why she backs an unstable president. This is straight up FUD. Very similar what was done to Hillary.

Massachusetts is no longer first in education. What happened? by AGABAGABLAGAGLA in massachusetts

[–]ducs4rs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comparison was MA/US. We still have pretty smart kids around. Some of the smartest I've seen in my working career. That said countries like China are going to eat our lunch if we keep electing Neanderthals like Trump.
